Why use our free CV templates?

Our free CV templates are built to help you create a professional CV quickly, with no design or formatting experience required. They combine ease of use, compatibility with modern hiring standards, and full customization, so you can focus on what matters most: your experience and skills.

Designed with recruiters in mind

Each template uses clean typography, clear section headings, and a layout that keeps attention on your experience rather than decoration. The result is a CV that reads well on screen and in print and makes a strong first impression.

Ready to fill in and easy to edit

Every CV template we offer is ready to fill in and edit with ease, including your personal details, work experience, education, skills, courses, and projects — or you can add your own custom sections as needed, while keeping a professional layout at all times.

ATS-friendly

Many companies rely on applicant tracking systems (ATS) to screen CVs before they reach a recruiter. That is why our templates are built with a clear, well-organized structure that ensures your content is read correctly, improving the chances your CV reaches the human-review stage.

Designs for every field

Choose from a wide range of classic and modern templates, in one-column or two-column layouts, to match your experience level — whether you are a recent graduate with no experience or a seasoned professional — and to suit fields such as tech, engineering, management, marketing, medicine, education, design, and more.

Full design customization

Take control of how your CV looks. Change the fonts and colors, reorder or rename sections, adjust the spacing and page layout, and use advanced design options that give you the freedom to create a CV that reflects your style.

Ready to print and share

Once you are done editing, you can download your CV as a PDF that preserves the design and formatting — ready to email, submit on job platforms, or print.

How to choose the right CV template?

Choosing the right template depends on the nature of the job, your experience level, and how you prefer to present your information.

Choose the right structure

One-column templates like Classic and Slate present information in a single flow. They are easy to read and compatible with most ATS, which makes them suitable for most jobs.

Two-column templates like Ledger and Meridian use the page space efficiently and give you more room to highlight skills, languages, and contact details alongside your work experience.

Choose a template that fits your experience

If you are a student or a recent graduate, a simple one-page template is often the best choice. If you have long professional experience, choose a template that gives you more room to present your previous roles, achievements, and projects.

Consider the employer's requirements

Whether to include a photo depends on the country. It is expected in parts of Europe, such as Germany, France, and Spain, while recruiters in the UK, US, and Canada generally prefer a CV without one. Follow the norms of the job or country you are applying to.

If you are unsure, use the template filters to quickly find the right design by field, number of columns, and experience level.

How to create your CV with GetYourCV?

Start by choosing one of the free CV templates you like, then open it in the GetYourCV editor to add your details.

Fill in your personal information, experience, education, skills, and the remaining sections step by step. And if you need help with the writing, the AI assistant can turn your ideas or brief notes into clear, professional text.

Once you are done, you can fully customize the design by changing the colors and fonts, reordering or renaming sections, and adding or removing a photo — while previewing every change live before you download.

Finally, download your CV as a high-quality PDF, with the option to come back later to edit the content or switch templates at any time, without having to rewrite your details.

Frequently asked questions about creating and editing your CV

Are the CV templates free?
Yes. Our free CV templates let you create and edit your CV at no cost. Each template gives you a professional design that is ready to fill in and customize — add your details, edit the content and formatting, then download your CV as a PDF when you are done.
Can I create a CV in another language?
Yes. You can create your CV in English or another language while keeping a professional, consistent layout.
Can I fully customize the CV design?
Yes. From the customization panel in the CV editor, you can control many design elements. You can change the template, colors, fonts, text sizes, section order, rename sections, and adjust the spacing and page layout to get a design that fits your style and the job you are applying to.
Are the CV templates compatible with applicant tracking systems (ATS)?
Yes. The templates are built with a clear, well-organized structure that helps applicant tracking systems (ATS) read key information such as experience, education, and skills correctly. That said, the content of your CV and how well it matches the job requirements remain among the most important factors in the hiring process.
Should I add a photo to my CV?
It depends on the country and role. In the US, UK, Canada, and Australia, it is generally best to leave the photo out, as many employers screen CVs without photos to avoid bias. In much of continental Europe, a professional headshot is common and sometimes expected. If you are unsure, check the job posting and follow local norms.
What is the right length for a CV, and does it have to be one page?
There is no single rule that fits everyone. For students and recent graduates, one page is usually enough to present education, skills, and internship experience. Professionals with more experience may need more room to present their achievements, projects, and career path in an organized way.
Can I change the template after entering my CV details?
Yes. You can switch between templates at any time without losing your data. Your content is saved separately from the design, so you can try different designs and pick the best look before downloading the final version.
Can I create a CV with no experience?
Yes. You can create a strong CV even without long professional experience. Focus on your education, skills, projects, training, and any academic or personal achievements that show your abilities and readiness to work.
Does AI help write the CV content?
Yes. The AI assistant can help you improve the wording of your CV content, such as describing your experience, skills, and achievements more professionally. The more information you provide about your background, the more accurate and relevant the text you get for your career path.
Can I download the CV as a PDF?
Yes. Once you have finished creating and customizing your CV, you can download it as a high-quality PDF, ready to share by email, on job platforms, or to print.
